“Janus”

JanusJanus” (ca. 1985)
by Barry Windsor-Smith (1949-)
24 x 24 in., pastel on paper
Coppola Collection

I contacted the BWS site on this one.

“Your original is a 1980s chalk drawing that Mr. Windsor-Smith did for the pleasure of it and not for any distinct purpose.”

Happy 60th Birthday to Barry Windsor-Smith – perhaps the premiere contemporary artist who could have easily been part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

I am a triple-lucky damned dog to have picked this up, many many! moons ago. A BWS original, in pastels, of a mythological sort of portrait. I have called this Janus, but it was untitled. And it is about 8000x more stunning in person. You may resume normal breathing.
